Suport for SV6301A / SV4401A

[oxoocoffee]

Hello

I was wondering if I could assist with adding support for both units

SV4401A - https://www.sysjoint.com/index.php?tpl= ... =2&lang=en
SV6301A - https://www.sysjoint.com/index.php?tpl= ... =2&lang=en

I attempted to use SV6301A which I have, It does shows up and after I connect showing correct firmware number.
I am speculating the issue in your code is related to 1001 points vs 501 points which your current VNA's support.

I can try to force it to 501 and see if that shows up anything. With my default 1001, there is not error or change on the screen except the firmware version.

Do you have builtin logging with various levels of verbosity so in such cases users can attach here?

At a first glance I can't see a reason why it doesn't work. Observe the Stimulus panel after connecting. Do you see a response?

Here is a screenshot for the latest version downloaded today Version 1.2 (6)
The three previous VNA in the list do produce the same output in attached screenshot. The new VNA model when select is prompting me about calibration stating the master calibration is missing. But my SV6301A has been calibrated.

As I mentioned, the firmware version is reported correctly. So something is working. Please note, no antenna is connected, since I just wanted to get a quick screenshots.

We have a debug option available since version 1.2 (6).

• Start VNAmate
• Disconnect the device using the Disconnect button - the left hand bubble turns red.
• Go to Menu-->Window-->Debug
• Make sure the Spy check box is selected
• Connect the device
• When Stimulus datas are seen, press the Scan button in the Stimulus panel.
• Post the result from the Debug window using copy and paste, no screen shot.

It is worth to try all NanoVNA options, no need to try the FA-VA 5 since this is completely different.

Great,

I will provide generated output here sometimes tonight.

Here it is. Please see attached file.
Using the latest update, it seems some data did come. Anything else?

Which macOS version?
What is the table showing?

It seems you have an Open connected?

I am running latest upcoming Tahoe 26 beta since I am testing my apps. Final version is expected to be released next week on Sep 8/9.
I will run it again in couple of hours and will send you a screenshot.

I am back. I will try to repeat it and provide output from table? Any other things to check ?

Hello,

I followed your steps with enabling a Debug and scanning an HT antenna for this test on 70cm band.
I am attaching Debug log here with a screenshot when testing SV6301A VNA and selecting NanoVNA-F v2. Could there be a SV6301A option in the menu?
As far as I can tell the stitch chart and VSWR do look the same in your app and on the device screen.

Are there any other tests you like me to perform and submit Debug log again?
Please outline in detailed steps
